This one’s a little late this week. Got very busy with deadlines. Sorry guys. Hope your week went well. We’ve been boardgaming like mad lately. Played Last Night on Earth. Dusted off the BSG boardgame which is always fun since it usually ends up with “you’re a frakkin’ cylon.” “No you are!” And tried out A Touch of Evil for the first time which I actually liked better than Arkham Horror.

But that’s enough catching up. Here’s what you may have missed this week in scifi news:

But my favourite bit of news is from the White House, where they were forced to respond to a petition to build a Death Star. Needless to say there are no plans on the horizon to build such a device.

In IGP news, I decided to go on a rant after more talk of sequels came out this week in my latest Dear Studio Executive
